Segregating workload by using agent criteria
Task Queue Filter Criteria parameter is available in all the task
queue agent criteria configuration. An agent criteria is the input to the agent and any
specification in the criteria defines how the agent must be running.
You can set one or more filter_criteria values against the Task Queue
Filter Criteria parameter and process the jobs by matching the parameter values. You can
create as many criteria as required, associate the criteria to same or separate servers, and then
run one or more instances of those servers.
You can add comma-separated value if there are multiple filter_criteria values
to set for the parameter. VOID is a valid task queue filter criteria value. It is used to match
records with null value in the filter_criteria column of the YFS_TASK_Q table.
All the criteria that are defined for an agent must be mutually exclusive. No catch-all criteria
must be defined, otherwise it can interfere the processing of jobs between servers. You must stop
running all the criteria where Task Queue Filter Criteria is not defined when you
use the Task Queue Filter Criteria parameter.
